cannot open Internet Explorer in windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

any recent installations, uninstallations, or deletions, or clean ups?  A different browser works?  Frewall changes?  Nothing at all happens?  No error?  Logs?  FTP? Telnet? Ping?

its a new laptop and a new windows is installed , recently updated the windows then this issue occurs , google chrome is working fine

Are you able to update IE?

yes its new updates are updating

just now i tried fixing the issue by micrfosoft IF fix it , but its still same it gives error as
" windows cannot access the specified device ,path or file . you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item :.

is that error message same as before you tried "I fix it" or is it new since "I fix it"  and is "I fix it" via Chrome?



can you right click on IE, then run as admin? or run chrome as admin?

Are you sure IE was correctly installed?
What version of IE?
Repair IE

1) Control Panel|Programs and Features|Turn Windows Features On or Off|is the box for Internet Explorer checked?  If so, uncheck and follow directions.  You will eventually have to reboot.  Go back to the Turn Windows Features On or Off window.  This time check the box for IE and follow directions.

try to run IE without add-ons

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff
if it works that means there is some corrupted or malfunctioning  add-ons, you can verify them and disable them
specially the one not from Microsoft

Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, Windows Features. Uncheck IE and close out. This will force you to restart. Do so.

Now run System File Checker. Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW. Allow to complete.

Now go back to Windows Features and enable IE. Restart now (as you must).

Now run Windows Update and do all updates including Recommended.

Does IE work now?

Try opening IE without add-ons.

Is there any chances that your IE could be infected by some malware?

Just to be sure, I would suggest to download and run with administrator privileges from your PC Combofix (save it on your Desktop):

an then also AdwCleaner to clean up your browsers:

After that, perform also a Malwarebytes full scan.

Let us know....
